Okay everyone..deep breath here!
I talked with FC via chat this am and she is just as frustrated as we are regarding this, so let's have a little sympathy and patience. It'll all come together somehow.

Also keep in mind that the person who is setting up the practice ice board is NOT F~C, but Don Knote of sk8stuff and it's a VERY busy board with just him running it. Please be patient with him! He's SWAMP!!!

That said, my check just got sent last night... F~C, you should get it by Saturday or Monday. Depends on how USPS is.

Thanks! I'll let you know when I get it (if it comes Saturday, it might be on Sunday, since I'm competing in Detroit that day)!

Is there any other way to set up the Practice Ice online or do you HAVE to use Don Korte's site? If he's so busy, how will he keep up with all the people signing up even when/if he does get it up? You've all done such a great job with the website and planning and preparing everything that it's such a shame to get "stuck" because of a site out of your control.

I will officially shut up about this topic and keep my anxieties to myself, just wondering if there's another way to do it....

For future ANs, if practice ice is to be purchased online, I wonder if it would be possible for the LOC to set up PayPal, or something like that. It would alleviate a lot of paperwork on the LOCs end in terms of having to send out PINs, etc., and competitors would get exactly what they pay for, immediately.

I don't mind waiting for the PIN, but what I am a bit worried about is that the sessions I specifically want and subsequently paid for may be full by the time I'm able to log on, and there's no mechanism in place for a refund. But if the payment method is immediate -- like PayPal or another method to, say, pay by credit card would be -- you'd know right when you sign up if you can get on the session, and if you can't, you wouldn't outlay any money for it.

It worked really well for EGL regionals this year and they used the same (almost exact) method we are using, so I'm kinda about the hold up.

I don't blame you, but we ALL know it's not YOUR fault. Nothing's been posted on his site for 2 days so I'm hoping that means he's working on our schedule set-up??? Trying to be hopeful here!

Has anyone tried to contact him directly or through his website? We're all bugging F~C and she dosen't know anything more than we do and it's not really fair we keep firing questions at her on here. I am positive as soon as she knows anything she'll post it.

Easterns used PayPal to pay for everything including the practice ice and I thought that was an excellent way to do it!! It showed all the sessions and exacty how many spots were left.

I talked to Don today @ the competition and he has everything ready to go. I just need to double check it all and make sure nothing's missing.

So, I'd expect that it will be up & running on Monday.

Well, it's up. I clicked the send me my PIN and got an erroe message. Did that happen to anyone else yet?

Yep, I got an error too. I sent an email to Don & he said he'd check it when he's home from work tonight.

Same thing happened to me. Maybe it's a conspiracy against just the two of us because people are jealous of our coolness.

The posting on sk8stuff currently says, "Apr-06-09 Practice Ice Reservation for Adult Nationals will be turned on at 6:00 pm Tuesday night (Apr 7), and will remain available until 6:00 pm Sunday (Apr 19). While you wait for enablement, please visit the linked page to review the schedule and request your PIN number. (oops pin lookup broken for some people. will fix tonite)."

So he's aware of the error, but my question is: What time zone is he talking about when he refers to 6pm on Tuesday?

My guess would be Eastern, since that's his time zone.

Yes, it's the Eastern time zone, so it'll be on at 6:00pm ET, 5:00pm CT, 4:00pm MT and 3:00pm PT.

They finally get the pins fixed and are sending them out...my email is listed with the .com backwards...it has com.!!!!! Emailed Don about it and hoping he will fix it soon. It's supposed to be jennalynn713@roadrunner.com, not roadrunnercom. Maybe it's all a sign that I'm not supposed to do Nationals this year!!!!

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Let me guess...you HAVE YOUR pin number! LOL! I don't know why this has gotten to me so badly this year...I'm just so stressed and little things like this push me right to that edge. I SO need a vacation!!!!
